If you thought that you could just start a youtube channel<\/a>, upload a video, and go viral, then you may want to sit down for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the truth is, that is rarely ever how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matter of fact, most people who want to start a channel completely underestimate how much work actually goes into building a youtube channel.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as the results that you can expect to get from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having gone through the new-tuber struggle<\/strong> myself, I want to make sure that you don’t have to hit a brick wall as I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So in this article, I am going to give you all of the tools and tips you need to start a youtube channel with a good foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now before we get started, I have to be clear. If you are just doing youtube as a hobby<\/strong> and not thinking about making it into something bigger, then this is not the article for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you want to actually grow on youtube and possibly make money from it, then you are in the right place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1-Starting Your Youtube Brand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"MINDED<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of the first things that you are going to hear when you start a youtube channel is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Pick a niche!”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I say: Pick your brand.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of YouTubers get stuck when they niche down so much in the beginning that they are not even able to scale or grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on what you want to be known for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to be known for making reaction videos about hot topics? Or do you want to be the guy that cooks amazing food but never shows his face?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let that be your brand and start making content<\/strong> from that perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t put yourself in too small of a box because then you may struggle to get out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing A Youtube Channel Name<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For some reason, this is where a lot of YouTubers spend most of their time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People really get stuck on choosing a channel name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s because it is Choice Overload<\/a><\/strong>. There are literally millions of possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why I insisted on defining your brand first<\/strong> because it makes it so much easier. Take some words that are common in your brand and start to play around with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some people make it easy and just use their own name as their channel name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you are creating a brand that is not personal, then you may want to choose a creative name that people will likely remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are really struggling to find a name, then using a name generator like NameBounce<\/a> or BusinessNameGenerator <\/a>could be a big help to get some ideas flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a New Google Account<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can’t create a youtube channel nowadays without a Google Account<\/strong>. If you already have an account, great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, create a brand new google account with your brand name<\/strong> as your email address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is essential that your brand name<\/strong> is seen on all of your contacts. It will look a lot more professional to have an email address with a brand name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until you actually decide to subscribe to a professional email hosting service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that, but it will make your life as a youtube a lot easier to be able to separate your personal email from your “work<\/em>” email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can even have all of your Drive documents<\/strong> for your youtube channel completely separate, which will make organizing your files a lot easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBS! Make sure you enable two-factor authentication<\/strong> as it is now a requirement to join the Youtube Partner Program<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create an Audience Profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
